Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
It’s time for us to check out the second episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. Today, it’s time for ‘The Devil’s Chord’ by Russell T. Davies, which was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 11th of May 2024. ‘The Devil’s Chord’ was the second in a double bill of ‘Doctor Who’ episodes shown on the 11th of May, with the first one being ‘Space Babies’. It’s been fascinating to revisit this ‘Doctor Who’ episode for my in-depth review on it compared to when I did my spoiler-free reaction video on both ‘Space Babies’ and ‘The Devil’s Chord’ back in May 2024. What do I have to say about this episode since first seeing it on BBC iPlayer back then? Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
Here we are on the penultimate story of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’! It’s time to check out the episode ‘Other Victories’ in Season 3 of ‘Beast Wars’. In this episode, we resolve the story arc involving the mysterious aliens that appeared in ‘Chain of Command’, ‘The Trigger’, ‘Other Voices’ and ‘Other Visits’. We also have the return of Tigatron and Airazor, who were captured by the mysterious aliens in ‘Other Visits’. Will Tigatron and Airazor’s return to ‘Beast Wars’ be very satisfying? Will the story arc involving the mysterious aliens be resolved in a very satisfying manner, despite this being a single-episode story and not a two-part story? I first saw ‘Other Victories’ as the first of the last three episodes of Season 3 of ‘Beast Wars’ on Volume 4 of the four official ‘Beast Wars’ VHS releases containing Season 3 episodes that had never been shown before via GMTV in the UK. I’ve also seen ‘Other Victories’ in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, and it can now be seen on YouTube. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
Here we are on the first episode of Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. It’s time to check out ‘Space Babies’ by Russell T. Davies, which was shown via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and via Disney+ in non-UK parts of the world on the 11th of May 2024. ‘Space Babies’ was the first in a double bill of ‘Doctor Who’ episodes shown on the 11th of May – the second one being ‘The Devil’s Chord’. I’ve had time to process and reflect on my thoughts on ‘Space Babies’ as well as the rest of Series 14. I’ve certainly more to say about this episode compared to when I did my spoiler-free reaction video on both ‘Space Babies’ and ‘The Devil’s Chord’ back in May 2024. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
We’re getting close to the end of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’, everyone! Let’s continue our look into this ‘Transformers’ series by checking out the episode ‘Master Blaster’ in Season 3 of ‘Beast Wars’. In the episode, the Predacons attempt to take control of Optimus Primal’s Optimal body in order to infiltrate the Autobots’ Ark again. Megatron is intent on stealing the spark of the original G1 Megatron, leader of the Decepitcons, so that his powers can be on par with Optimal Optimus’. Will the Maximals thwart Megatron’s attempts to be more powerful or will a couple of his Predacon troops betray him in the process? I first saw ‘Master Blaster’ as the last of three episodes on Volume 3 of the four official VHS releases of ‘Beast Wars’ containing Season 3 episodes that had never been shown before via GMTV in the UK. I’ve also seen ‘Master Blaster’ in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, and it can now be seen on YouTube. Will this be an exciting instalment in ‘Beast Wars’ as we draw closer to the series’ conclusion? Continue reading

At long last! I’ve completed writing up my in-depth reviews on Series 14 of the new ‘Doctor Who’ TV series, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. These reviews are based on me checking out the stories in the Series 14 Blu-ray box set. As we speak, I’m in the process of uploading my reviews on each of the stories in Series 14 to my blog. I aim to share my reviews every week from April to June 2026. It’s taken me a while to write up my reviews on each story in Series 14, but I’m happy to be sharing them on my blog, which includes in-depth thoughts by me on what I think of the stories today compared to when I first viewed back from May to June 2024.

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
Here we are on another updated review on a ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ episode! It’s time to check out the episode ‘Crossing the Rubicon’, a Season 3 episode about Blackarachnia. In the episode, Blackarachnia’s life is in danger when she attempts to use the Transmetal driver she acquired from Depth Charge in ‘Feral Scream’ to upgrade her body. Will the Maximals be able to save Blackarachnia’s life whilst the Predacons, led by Tarantulas, attack the Maximals’ base to disrupt the procedure? The first time I saw ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ was on Volume 3 of the four official VHS releases of ‘Beast Wars’ containing Season 3 episodes that had never been shown before via GMTV in the UK. I’ve also seen ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, and it can now be seen on YouTube. We’re getting close to the end of the ‘Beast Wars’ series, as there are three more stories after this one. Hopefully, I’ll be able to complete my updated reviews on ‘Beast Wars’ by the time we get to Early Bank Holiday Monday in the UK in May. Continue reading

Here’s a special Quick Reactions video by me on the first and third episodes of the 12-part ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘The Daleks’ Master Plan’, starring William Hartnell as the First Doctor. These two once-lost episodes were recently found and have now been brought back to the BBC Archives for everyone to enjoy! The episodes are currently available on BBC iPlayer. Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
It’s Easter Monday today, and how fitting that I’m sharing another updated review on a ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ episode, as I used to enjoy watching ‘Beast Wars’ on GMTV as a kid over the Easter Holidays, Bank Holidays and October half-terms from 1998 to 1999. Today, we’re checking out the episode ‘Go with the Flow’, a Season 3 episode where Rattrap and Depth Charge have to work together to save Una, a proto-human girl, who gets kidnapped by the Predacons to help finish Megatron’s deadly disruptor ray weapon that will be used to destroy the Maximals and their makeshift base whilst protecting the Autobots’ Ark. The first time I saw ‘Go with the Flow’ was on Volume 3 of the four official VHS releases of ‘Beast Wars’ containing Season 3 episodes that had never been shown before via GMTV in the UK. I’ve also seen ‘Go with the Flow’ in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set, and it can now be seen on YouTube. Can Rattrap and Depth Charge save Una and stop the Predacons at the same time? Or will the Predacons finds themselves unwittingly defeated by an unexpected enemy? Continue reading
